Just bought a cheapy MP3 player. Not used one before. Bit behind on the technology.
I thought I could load data onto it in the same way as a flashdisk. But no. It appears that my XP laptop decides it is an "MTP player" and decides it is going to "sycnronize". This hangs Explorer for ages. So much for multi-threading:( Any one know if I can force it to be seen as a flashdisk?

Computers like to take over and make it easy for you!
However if you look with the normal file explorer you should see the MP3 player under My computer just like another disk. You should be able to drag and drop files across to it. I find opening two explorers helpful, one looking at source files and one destination, its easy to select in one (right click copy) and right click paste in the other. Selecting files while holding Ctrl down will let you pick a random selection to drag or copy across.
(on the keyboard Ctrl C is cut, Ctrl V is paste)

Shows in explorer as an audio device.
Open the Media folder on the device and it hangs explorer (all windows) for some minutes. It can only be syncing - or comparing files for syncing.
Usual nuts design.

Sussed it.
Turned off syncing in wmp. I've honestly never used it before.
Truly crap that it defaults to syncing. Even more crap that syncing locks up ALL explorer threads. Mind you it could be AV that impacts explorer.
